PCI-AC51

Production Specification

The PCI-AC51 is a high-speed adapter card designed to link Opto 22 I/O to PCI-compatible computers for PC-based control using the Pamux protocol. Each PCI-AC51 can access up to 512 points of I/O along a Pamux bus of up to 500 feet in length.

The PCI-AC51 is ideal for customers who have been using Opto 22's AC28 adapter card but must upgrade to a newer computer that uses the PCI bus instead of the ISA bus. (This card replaces the PCI-AC28, which is obsolete.)

For stations on a Pamux bus to operate correctly, both ends of the bus must be terminated. The host computer and the last Pamux station on the bus are the only devices that should be terminated. Because termination resistors are built into the PCI-AC51, the host computer is automatically terminated. Use part number TERM 1 or TERM 2 (shielded cable) for the last Pamux station. See the Pamux User's Guide for more details.
